they're the only team in the top 12 that averages less than 4.1 a carry (3.8)

and considering it's pass happy league, you have to figure their 363 attempts, which is the 7th highest in the top 12, is probably also the 7th highest in the league. If you have the 7th most rushing attempts in the the NFL, you better be borderline top 5 in yardage.

Yards per game is fairly irrelevant. You have to look at yards per carry and that is where we are 5th worst, only ahead of teams that have lost their starting RBs for parts of the year like the Jags, Cards and Cowboys.

Sanchez has been figured out. Stop the run, and "force him to do something he's not comfortable doing, throwing the ball".

Believe it was Ray Lewis who said this.

No doubt he's a large factor in the poor running game. The Jets O-line isn't bad contrary to what is said around here.

What are you basing this on?
I count 6 other teams averaging 3.8 yards a carry including slouches like Denver and Atlanta and 3 other teams under 3.8.

rushing yards per game is a horribly misleading stat as all you have to do really is run the ball more often than the other teams. Hell, you could lead the league by a wide margin while gaining 2.5 yards per carry if you run it often enough.

Just wondering if it was me or not, but has anyone noticed that Greene and Powell have been getting some pretty decent-good yardage? Idk, it seems like I see them getting 4 or so yards more often in the latest weeks.

The line has definitely moved people of the ball in recent weeks. Even at the beginning of the Pats they had a bunch of good runs. But it seems like everything is a little too late.

They have stayed healthy this year and are playing as a unit. Howard is now used to playing, remember he was named starter very late in pre-season and did not get a lot of work with the starters.
